Jim certainly has made a cracking job of him, I saw this at Yeovil Show and it is super. It would be good if he sold them, I would certainly buy one.

Great ref. material Nap, thanks

Cheers

Thanks for posting this up for me here on PF.
One thing I must point out before anybody ask "is this going to available commercially" sorry but it's not a scratch built bust, it's actually a conversion I done using a Young miniatures WW11 British Commando as a donor bust, therefore I cannot have it casted up as a kit for sale due to Young miniatures ownership of the original bust
Cheers

Answered my post then Jim, shame still hopefully seeing Baldrick, etc painted up for Bugle will do.

Cheers
Geoff.

Thanks Geoff,
I may consider sculpting a copy of this from scratch at some point and get some castings done, therefore to be sold as a kit.
Depends if there's enough interest in it, so just considering it at the moment?
Cheers again
Jim

That's fantastic Jim. You have caught ole Bill to a tee.
I'd have one at the drop of a hat mate.

Hi Jim, that would be great if you did, stick me on the list.

Cheers
Geoff

Superb work Jim. It's a 'cracker'.

You can add my name to the list.

Cheers,
Andrew

I like this, Jim!

not wishing to hijack Jims thread, but I think this maybe relevant....https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/after-bruce-bairnsfather.44894/#post-456922

I was contacted by "Old Bill", one of the contributers, after posting these. Needless to say, he wanted to pick these up for nowt......!!

Also, just to add that the family still holds copyright on these......

Hi Steve
Thanks for the input mate...yeah copyright is always a touchy subject, must admit I wouldn't like to tread on anyone's toes over it...Could call it something else if I was to do it commercially but then it's sailing a tad near to the wind, but then there are loads of figures & busts out there on the market that are obviously of a "certain subject" but called something different....anyway all pie in the sky at the moment?
Cheers
Jim

Call it Ole Phil then.

I'm not a 'bust' man, but this is a beauty, count me in !

'Ole Bill as sculpted by Jimbo reminds me so much of David Fletcher from the Tank Museum...…..the likeness is uncanny.
Can't get over Bruce Bairnsfather's cap in those photos of him in uniform - his tailor certainly had a sense of humour (and he would have been jailed for the shape of that SD cap in some of the units I served in!)

This is a cracking “conversion” Jim and so full of character. Love the Bairnsfather cartoons and always thought some of them would make interesting scenes in the 3D Figure world. I’d certainly be interested in one if you do go ahead.

If there is a list for those who want to buy it, please put me name on it too

Thanks for all the encouraging comments guys
Cheers

I don't need a new vest...I'm happy with me old one!
